The train has no brakes |

The train has no brakes, the driver’s asleep, and the passenger, me, avows the next bend or corner will see me leap out and roll, roll out my life like a fireman puts out a fire. But all trains on the track speed on to gateways and the scenery passes too fast for fool, mystic, sage, or prophet, to know the right time to leave the vehicle of life and carrier of individual flames. Yea though I burn and suffer the pain no fire is worth putting out for at the center of all I’m forced to endure is the sizzle, snap, crack, of laughter and mirth. Yea though I think the choice is mine whether to jump, suffer or smile, I do not know what lies up ahead and so I hold on, kindle my fire, and call on the power of love to slow down the train and give me, you, them, a chance to know where we’re going … but the train goes clickety-clack, clickety-clack along the tracks! |
